HST 111 World History through Film
This course seeks to examine the portrayal of world history in films against both the historical reality of actual events and the intellectual and cultural forces that shaped the making of these movies. Through the reading of historical primary sources, scholarly articles from history, art, cinema, film, literature, English and interdisciplinary journals, students will learn how to critically interpret a variety of scholarly readings and understand scholarly arguments. This interdisciplinary course satisfies the HUM II requirement for general education.
